I suggest that players should vs the Final Boss on hard mode (this is the REAL boss battle).

Provoked by his King into a fit of rage; the fallen Hero of the Earth, now at his lowest point. Driven by the desire to culminate, he embarks on his last journey to fulfill his destiny as he perceives it. You (the player) must guide him to his destiny.

Storm your way through 15 levels and lay waste to countless different enemies. Complete with multiple difficulties and packed with 20 achievements, Culmination is a wildly chaotic action / platform game focused on delivering a unique and grand experience.

Players with little time can get a full taste of Culmination thanks to the unique 'automatic leveling system'.

Players looking for deep experiences will find Culmination to have a well though combat system, rich with complex mechanics.

It doesn't get any better than this!

This is one of the most awesome games I have ever played on Newgrounds! Every single second there was something fantastic going on. It was weird how at the final boss, I lost simply by not being able to keep up with him. The animation was drop dead gorgeous in this, particularly with how everything was designed. I have always been a fan of spider legs in artwork. With the hard villain just try to jump behind him to inflict damage.

It's also great how you can defeat enemies simply by knocking them off the ledge! I also love how you created the medals with how they unlock when you get them. You have created a fantastic world for the player to live in. I can just not get enough of this game! It's one of the most addictive I've played in a long game and just perfect! Thank you for this masterpiece!

Tedious Fun

I enjoyed the game, or what I played of it. It's true that your game that your game brings emotions to the surface of our eyes, with almost no effort. The artwork is seamless, and in a refined "LIMBO" way, it catches the eye. (I used LIMBO since most people know of that that, and haven't played this) Unfortunately, gameplay could use improvement.

From what I have played, I have encountered four types of enemies: The Grunt (looks like a Necromorph, first enemy of the game), The Firefly (Little bug that spits flames at you), the Wisp (Little flame that moves around), and The Reaper (The enemy that has scythes on his back, shoots scythes into ground and pops up under you, dealing damage. These enemies have pretty decent AI, but I have some complaints on where you have placed these enemies. I clearly remember in one level, a Grunt was placed on a thin platform that was needed to advance. I attempted to knock him off the edge, but failed. Instant death, preventing me from getting an achievement. Also, Fireflies are just tedious and annoying work. It takes four hits to kill one, and when a crowd of them pops up, the only way to dispatch them without frustration is to use the "Ultimate Move" (W). This wastes special that can be used later. I'm not going to delve unto the other enemies, as you understand my point. Another problem is the camera. When jumping into a pit to advance, the camera seems to lag behind, and while this is happening, I can see my health going down.

My last complaint is placement of orbs, and thoughts on them: brace for criticism. First off, orbs are not evenly placed out. Orbs can be found easily when not needed, but after facing a decent difficult level, you proceed to find that there are no orbs. After two or three levels, you find orbs, and it made me think "Why wasn't this two levels back? I wouldn't have died then if they were there." Second off, in later levels, I could easily collect special power. No longer did I need Large Orbs to get power. But they popped up, quite a bit actually. Finally, my last idea is that small orbs should be used for power, and large orbs should be used for health. I'd rather optionally go around collecting power, instead of getting aggravated trying to reach orbs that are completely necessary. Large orbs are also placed directly in your path, and small orbs can be found in odd places. Why? This is an aspect that I personally find stupid.

I simply want to help you improve your games. I look forward to playing the others, and future installations in the series, if there may be any.

Atmospherically awesome.

Welcome to Culmination, a game with very little plot at first glance and very atmospheric. The music and the graphics leave a very subtle, calm feeling to it, so strangely emotional. Its fighting system adds to the emotion, not really deep or 'hardcore' like many games of this genre.

Massively rich with strange emotion, this atmospheric game is absolutely beautiful.
